For crucial positions in bilateral and multilateral trade talks, data intelligence, and export promotion, the commerce department is expected to recruit 140 individuals from the private sector under the proposed trade promotion agency.

One key component of the strategy to assist India in reaching $2 trillion in exports by 2030 is the lateral recruitment of talent and knowledge from the private sector.

According to officials, this would increase the number of officers involved in trade discussions.

The reform of the department of commerce, which has divided trade negotiations into bilateral and multilateral buckets, includes the formation of multi-skilled teams and increased involvement of talent from the private sector.

Academic institutions including ICRIER, IIFT, and NCAER have been invited to contribute long-term experience to trade intelligence and analytics wing that has been established.
